Abstract:
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with flexible supplicant access control are described. One example method includes collecting a network information associated with a network to which an endpoint is to be communicatively coupled. The network information comprises a network identification and information to facilitate the evaluation of network threats. The example method may also include classifying the network based, at least in part, on the network information, to assign a variable level access parameter (VLAP) to the network based on the policy locally configured on the endpoint or centrally managed by the administrator. The VLAP may establish three or more access levels for the network at the endpoint. The example method may also include communicating the network identification and the network VLAP to a second endpoint, a security agent, a security application, and so on.
